Lorah was born on June 24, 1940 in Ooltewah, Tennessee to John and Bondola McMahan. In 1956, Lorah married the love of her life, Frank Locklear. They spent 43 wonderful years together.
Lorah was a loving wife, mother, and grandmother. She loved spending time with her children and grandchildren. If there was a baby around she always had them in her arms. In her spare time she enjoyed coloring, reading, and crocheting. She would never miss a NASCAR race and always had a story or memory to share even with complete strangers. Lorah was an avid collector of ships and light house figurines.
Lorah was predeceased by her father and mother, John and Bondola McMahan; her husband, Frank Locklear; son, Frankie Albert Locklear II; and her siblings, John McMahan Jr., Jack McMahan, Richard McMahan, James McMahan, and Estelle Bridges.
Lorah is survived by her daughters, Karen Deese (Timothy Deese), Jennifer Stevens (William Stevens); son, John Locklear; grandchildren, Frank Miracle, Austin Taylor, Elizabeth Taylor, Casey Bridges, Kayla Miracle, Jayden Locklear, Isaiah Locklear, Chloe Stevens, and Micah Stevens; and great grandchildren, Kane Miracle and Jettson Simmons.
